New York card room manager arrested

June 19th, 2007

The National Card Room on the New York’s East Side took a nasty string of beats last week, starting with a huge robbery and ending with the arrest of their manager.

The robbery took place early last week and resulted in the loss of an estimated $50,000 in cash from the room and players who were present at the time of the hold up. Manager Edgar Concepcion called the police to report the robbery and was subsequently arrested - in New York it’s legal to play poker for money but not legal to organize games and profit from them.
